Last year, the Chinese smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi released its flagship series, Xioami 12. As a part of the series, the company released three devices: the vanilla Xiaomi 12, Xiaomi 12 Pro, and Xiaomi 12X. While the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC powered the regular and the pro models, the Xioami 12X featured Snapdragon 870 SoC, a slightly less powerful chipset.
Although Xiaomi released the series in China last year, it came to India this year. Nevertheless, we are moving towards the end of 2022, and leaks about Xioami 12's successor, the Xioami 13 series, are surfacing on the internet. The Xiaomi 13 series could come out by the end of this year in the company's native market.
Zoutons, in collaboration with OnLeaks, has published a report that contains details about the upcoming Xiaomi 13 series, including its specifications, release date and price. Although the number of models that will be released as a part of the Xiaomi 13 series is not clear, the report mostly talks about the Xiaomi 13 Pro, which seems to be the high-end smartphone of the series.
To begin with, the Xiaomi 13 Pro could come with a 6.65-inch curved display with a central hole punch that houses the selfie camera. As seen in the renders shared by the publication, the display appears to have thin bezels on the top and the bottom, while it blends with the frame on the sides.

The dimensions of the Xiaomi 13 Pro, as mentioned in the report, are 163.0 x 74.6 x 8.8mm. It is said to come in two storage models, including 256GB and 512GB. Further, the smartphone could feature a dual speaker sound system, a Type-C Power Delivery port and multiple connectivity options, including Wi-Fi, LAN, Hotspot and more.
Although the report does not say anything about the smartphone's processor, we speculate that Xiaomi could use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in its upcoming flagship series, at least for the high-end models.
Now, let's talk about the price of the Xiaomi 13 Pro. Per the report, the Xiaomi 13 Pro could be priced at around Rs. 66,800 in India. While the device will debut around December 30, 2022, it is unclear whether the company will reveal it in the Indian market simultaneously with the Chinese market. That said, the Xiaomi 13 Pro could come out as the competitor to the iPhone 14 Pro, Pixel 7 Pro and the Galaxy S22 Ultra, with a slightly more affordable price.
